Ukraine's armed forces have shelled the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant again, with four shells hitting near the spent fuel storage area.
Four hits took place near the radioactive isotope storage area.
No critical systems were damaged and there is no sign of any increase radiation in the area.
Due to the shelling of Energodar, which is the village where the nuclear power plant is located, all four lines of electricity supply from the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant to Ukraine have been interrupted.
The supply of electricity from the Zaporozhye NPP to Ukraine is currently OFFLINE.
The plant generates nearly half of the country's electricity derived from nuclear power and more than a fifth of the total electricity generated in Ukraine.
Ukraine's continued shelling of this nuclear power plant risks a man-made-catastrophe if an artillery shell strikes a critical part of this nuclear power plant.
UPDATE 2:20 PM EDT --
Energoatom, the company that runs the nuclear power plant, announces that all six Reactor units of the Zaporozhye NPP remain disconnected from the Ukrainian energy system.

The article says the 750KV lines from the nuclear plants are out of order.

This is all bullshit
against Russia is all but assured?
Just around the corner?
We are told Russia is so depleted,
it just can't last much longer.
We are told Crimea will be re-taken.
We are told all the Black Sea areas will be
re-taken.
We are being deliberately lied to.
We are being fucked with.
They take us for fools.

Perhaps the shelling of the reactor area is to try to distract/sabotage from this:

If everything is running on diesel, that would be a worry as Russia would have to establish logistics to be sure that the diesel supply is not interrupted.
The other thing that is a major concern is that if a major radiation leak event did occur, it would most likely damage a lot of farmland in Ukraine and/or Europe and/or Russia. That all would depend on the kind of leak and the metrological conditions at the time of the leak.
The "Tanitic" was supposed to be "unsinkable", where is it now?
Then hidden ready to go out in the open for the next firing.
A large number of drones would allow rapid identification and monitoring and attack.
Yep that’s a old tactic the Marines call “ shoot and scoot”. But with the power of the Russian military I still find it mind boggling they can’t secure the area around the plant enough to keep the guns out of range. Send the infantry out and push them back!
I believe the Russians/Putin will deny electrical power to Ukraine and this shelling is an excuse to disconnect from Ukraine. Ukraine cannot sell electricity it doesn't have. That electricity will go to the Republics and Crimea.
Those Nuke plants were built by the soviet Union to withstand a direct hit on the power plants. The Russians are playing their hand very well. There will be no release of radiation. All BS.
The east of Ukraine contained most heavy industry - with coal, available water.
What I cannot understand is why AI and satellites do not yet allow real time ID of firing positions.
And agreed to use its Syrian "over the horizon" radar to give data to Iran (if USA or Iarael sends bombers).

Iranian sources reveal that Russia has bought 1,000 (!) drones from Iran, Russian training is complete and drones are already bombing Ukrainian positions.
American officials confirm information about the purchase of Iranian drones, which changes the situation both in Ukraine and in the Middle East. The number reported by the Iranians is simply colossal, which means that Iran has a huge stockpile of drones of all kinds.
Russia has acquired hundreds of Iranian drones it could use in its war in Ukraine, despite Washington's warnings to Tehran, according to Western intelligence officials cited by the Associated Press.
It is unclear whether Russia has begun using the drones against Ukrainian targets, but the drones appear to be operational and ready for use, said the officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
It is fully confirmed by WarNews247 a month after the revelations about the background to the dismissal of the Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov.

The arrival of the drones on the Ukrainian fronts was first reported by WarNews247 and recently confirmed by the American newspaper Washington Post.
The reported mission marks the latest sign of closer military cooperation between the longtime allies.

Agreement to buy 1,000 drones from Iran!
According to pro-Iranian sources, Russia is buying 1,000 drones from Iran and expanding the level of strategic cooperation between the two countries.
We remind you that recently a Russian rocket launched an Iranian satellite into orbit from the Russian launch facility in Kazakhstan. Iran would undoubtedly benefit from renewing its target bank and identifying more targets associated with its enemies based in the Middle East, primarily US military bases and Israel.
In addition, Russia has signed a contract with Iran to purchase 1,000 drones. Iran already handed over some drones and a simulator on which Russian officers were trained: The first drones were successfully used in Ukraine.
The move is considered unprecedented for a superpower to buy its drones from Iran. Tehran sees this as recognition of its advanced and efficient military industry, achieved despite 43 years of US sanctions on the Islamic Republic.
Russia has not paid much attention or sufficient investment to the drone industry in the last decade. Instead, Moscow has focused on developing hypersonic missiles, which have achieved a better operational level than US technology. Russia's interest in military development has focused on nuclear strategic missiles while in reality drones have become a must for every military.
Iran has also developed long-range and precision missiles with a range of 2000 km which have been successfully used in Iraq and Syria against different targets. However, as we can see, Tehran also focused on the intensive development of the drone industry.
Tehran uses them in Syria and delivers them to its allies in Lebanon, Syria, Iraq and Yemen, transferring experiences to the Palestinians in Gaza as well.
According to well-informed sources in Iran, "the purchase of drones by a superpower like Russia is an important indicator that confirms the quality and development of the Iranian industry, which has managed to produce the most advanced drones such as the Shahed 129 that can fly for a period exceeding 24 hours. That's what attracted Russia, especially for use in its war in Ukraine."

Iran buys over 21 Su-35s
More than 21 Russian Su-35 multirole fighters will be transferred to the Iranian Air Force.
In fact, the Russians also publish a satellite photo from the grounds of their Aviation factory in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. Yu.A. Gagarin (KnAAZ), which shows 21 Su-35s ready for delivery.
It should be noted that these Su-35s were built for the Egyptian Air Force, but Cairo was forced to abandon them under pressure from the West.
After the Egyptian breakthrough, the Iranians showed interest in acquiring the Su-35, since it is the only fighter in the global arms market that can compete with the American F-35 Lightning II and the Israeli F-35I Adir.
Tehran is developing its nuclear program and the military-industrial complex is determined not to allow its facilities to be destroyed.
According to US, Arab, British and Israeli intelligence services, Iranian pilots and technicians are already in Russia, where they are being trained to use the Su-35.
There is information that Moscow will deliver the fighters to Tehran as early as 2022. Initially the number to be delivered was 18 units. Therefore, it is likely that the total number of Su-35 fighters to be delivered to Iran will increase further.
"Then he continued, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your "mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.
But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia."

I BELIEVE TPTB are purposefully using up as much of our weapons they can so when they invade we have little defense weapons. Folks this proxy war is not what it seems. Satan knows unless Americans are destroyed his plan is not possible. Folks better be right with God
"Impenetrable", "unsinkable", "inevitably" and how much of this was proven to be "BS".
When the time "comes" we will not try but "DO".

I'm reposting your link. People, spent 2 minutes.
I was blown away by their drone carrying attack ship. Look! The drones are yellow, all the 8 black colored are missiles. Then on the bow you have one large camo brown missile that sure looks like one in the article about thermobaric warheads. What a way to shut down the Persian Gulf, you just got to be close, incinerate a tanker, bet Iran only has to burn one. And none of that pesty leftover radiation. Wonder how many of those ships Iran has? Barrage launch all nine at U.S. navy ship. Do you feel lucky punk? How about Iran uses 5 of them. That is 45 missiles at one ship at one time. Don't forget all the land base missile launchers. The gulf is about 75 miles wide at its widest, at the pinch point, 12 miles???
